Vudu is a unique type of online entertainment streaming platform that lets you buy or rent its premium content for online streaming. It was acquired by one of the biggest retail giants Walmart in 2010 before Fandango bought it last year(2020). It is unique from its other competitors like Netflix and Hulu in the sense that it doesn’t charge any monthly fees, rather you have to buy or rent its content for watching.
Whether you are looking for a movie or a TV series, you will get it all here. This app also lets you stream Ultra HD content apart from the normal SD and HD content. You will also find lots of free content in Vudu which does not require any renting or purchase.
The rental cost ranges from USD 0.99 to USD 5.99 while the buying cost ranges from USD 4.99 to USD 24.99. Additionally, you will often get various deals and offers which will reduce your rental/purchase cost.
If you want premium content at the lowest rate, Vudu app should be your go-to app. Vudu is also included in our Best Apps for FireStick List.
